The competition required participants to pitch their business in just three minutes, addressing the problem their business solves, the solution they offer, and the funding impact.

Jamie’s  production company provides a free, entertaining approach to overcoming global and social issues. His idea is aimed at promoting awareness about social issues in an interesting way, through short films, documentaries, and other media productions.

Clarke’s pitch was impressive and caught the attention of the judging panel,  consisting of Michael Longman (Loughborough University alumnus and Entrepreneurial CFO), Aftra Padmore (Graduate Assistant Diversity and Inclusion) and Rachel Curtis ( LSU Enterprise Community Lead).

Michael commented: “I really enjoyed the presentations. Talented and enthusiastic entrepreneurs provide such great energy and it is always a pleasure to try and share some knowledge and experiences to aid their development and journey.”

The competition had some fantastic entries, including Hocus Focus, a habit building device founded by Eleni Leontsini, and Elmina, a vehicle maintenance platform for auto professionals and vehicle owners founded by Louis Holloway.

On winning Jamie said: “I would like to express my gratitude towards all at the Loughborough Enterprise Network for facilitating the growth of my business through their support and funding these opportunities.

The continuous guidance and advice alongside a plethora of resources provided to budding entrepreneurs offers the opportunity to truly turn innovative ideas into flourishing businesses.”
